The Grants and Claude Slagle of Bristol and Jack Pierce of Marion, Virginia were in Asheville in the summer of 1927, playing with Jimmie Rodgers, when they got word of the Victor Bristol session. They all showed up, but got into some kind of dispute and broke up. Rodgers went on to immortality as a solo act, while the band kept on for a few years and drifted into obscurity.
The Grant Brothers and their Music: Claude Grant, vocal, guitar; Jack Grant, vocal, mandolin; Jack Pierce, fiddle; Claude Slagle, banjo.
